karate, it's meaning, and some of the things he has learned. 00:40.600 --> 00:43.200 In today's episode, I'm going to talk about Karate. 00:43.200 --> 00:51.000 I haven't recorded episodes for almost a year, and since then, many things have occurred 00:51.000 --> 00:58.400 in my life, and I'm now in college, I'm studying computer science, and now that 00:58.400 --> 01:07.280 I have organized my time, a lot better, I'll be recording or I'll be striding 01:07.280 --> 01:14.800 to record an episode, monthly, I have very interesting talkie topics to share with you 01:14.800 --> 01:22.720 that I have learned in college, I will be talking about them in future episodes. 01:22.720 --> 01:30.200 Okay, so today's topic is karate, I don't have like a predefined structure for when 01:30.200 --> 01:38.920 I'm going to say, I'm mainly going to say, to talk about what karate means, the history 01:38.920 --> 01:48.320 about karate, and some of the translations of karate, words, and I'll also talk about the 01:48.320 --> 01:57.720 basis of karate, and some things that I have learned from my sensei, as I'll introduce 01:57.720 --> 02:03.960 new concepts, I'll explain them, and yeah, so let's start. 02:03.960 --> 02:05.400 What does karate mean? 02:05.400 --> 02:14.360 There's a great analogy from Gishin from Akoshi, he's the father of modern karate, he was 02:14.360 --> 02:25.800 born in Kinawa, in 1968, and he's one of the people that introduced karate to all 02:25.800 --> 02:35.320 of the world through his exhibitions, another thing I want to say before moving on, is that 02:35.320 --> 02:44.360 the words, some of the things I'm going to say, or I'm down in the show notes, so you 02:44.360 --> 02:54.400 can understand more concepts about, and also see how the words up for Nellus in Japanese 02:54.400 --> 03:04.960 are reading, in his book, I just call karate the Kiyohan, Gishin from Akoshi, gave 03:04.960 --> 03:11.880 his analogy of how he's a karate, a karate guy, someone who practices karate, that's 03:11.880 --> 03:20.560 how he or she's called, okay, so he says, those he's like green bamboo stock, hollow, 03:20.560 --> 03:29.160 car, inside, straight, and with nuts, that is self-ish, gentle, and motoric, okay, karate 03:29.200 --> 03:38.160 or karate, literally translates the way of the empty hand, Kar means empty, as in Kar, okay, 03:38.160 --> 03:49.000 the means hand, although he's white, so the way of the empty hand, empty hand, it's 03:49.000 --> 03:54.840 because in karate you don't use any weapon, you just use your body and your hands, but 03:54.880 --> 04:04.600 also it has a more profound meaning as Gishin from Akoshi, said, karate is about being 04:04.600 --> 04:17.600 empty and hollow from bad thoughts, from being selfish, it is karate is about striking 04:17.680 --> 04:26.880 to be better, having karate is being gentle, and something that Gishin from Akoshi 04:26.880 --> 04:35.040 is in a place like this, a lot is being humble, so given though you know a lot of things 04:35.040 --> 04:45.920 about karate, you don't come saying to others, but you know, yeah, being arrogant, well, 04:46.000 --> 04:53.600 something I forgot to mention, that I've been practicing karate since I was seven years old, 04:54.320 --> 05:02.000 but it's something now that I really, I am really interested in karate, it's something now that I 05:02.000 --> 05:11.520 really understand what karate means, my parents brought me to karate classes because of the 05:11.600 --> 05:20.320 values of karate, you know, discipline, yeah, as I said before, being gentle, being moderate, 05:20.320 --> 05:28.400 being humble, also being empty of laziness, which at the beginning, well at the beginning when I was 05:28.960 --> 05:35.760 starting practicing karate, I wasn't very happy to wake up early in the morning and to practice 05:35.840 --> 05:47.200 karate, sometimes I was, yeah, sometimes had laziness, it was sometimes was lazy, but I have learned 05:47.200 --> 05:55.120 a lot of things and I have advanced through this way, I am now purple belt, I later talk about 05:55.680 --> 06:06.960 the hierarchy of the color of the belts, okay, well yeah, that's what karate means, 06:08.160 --> 06:14.560 karate, it is also something you don't only practice in that, though you do use their physical 06:14.560 --> 06:22.400 place where you train, but rather as an an as teaching for the cause you say, every place can be 06:22.400 --> 06:31.120 at the wheel, so every place is good to practice karate, to be humble, to be gentle, not only 06:31.120 --> 06:40.320 practicing karate physically, but practicing those values, those key values in karate, okay, 06:41.600 --> 06:50.960 well, karate, there's a big order, some misconceptions about karate that I want to clarify, 06:51.280 --> 06:58.000 many people practice or they became practicing karate because they want to learn self-defense, 06:58.000 --> 07:04.080 they may have been attacked before, they want to learn how to defend, but that's not maybe 07:04.080 --> 07:12.880 purpose of karate, that's like a bonus, karate, I can bet that many of the reasons say sort of 07:12.880 --> 07:19.760 Japan never used karate in our real life situation, like it's just from a caution, the other 07:19.840 --> 07:27.760 graces and says of Japan, and that is something that reflects also in a race of teaching for 07:27.760 --> 07:36.320 a caution, one of his training percepts that I'll layer put on the show notes, holding to them, 07:37.360 --> 07:43.760 it is the percept says, there's no first attacking karate, it is really an teaching from a 07:43.760 --> 07:52.400 koshistam, and that reflects in karate, there's something called kata, kata is one of the basis, 07:52.400 --> 08:01.120 three basis that I'll, let me talk about, and karate is a series of techniques that simulate or 08:01.120 --> 08:09.600 symbolize real combat, and in every kata in the karate there's always the first movement, 08:09.600 --> 08:18.720 he's a defense, there's no kata that is charged with attack, that also means that one of the best 08:18.720 --> 08:27.360 fight is the one you avoid, they agree with that, think you should always be careful with using 08:27.360 --> 08:34.880 karate, using like that, practical things about karate, the movements, attacks, the defenses, 08:35.440 --> 08:44.000 both because you can well injure severe way of person, and may even kill the person, 08:46.240 --> 08:54.720 and also well because, well yeah that's not the purpose of, during those attacks and defenses, 08:54.720 --> 09:01.440 things that karate is more about, having peace during self defense that's like bonus, 09:02.320 --> 09:11.280 and also well it depends on the country you're leaving, but if you happen to, if it happens that you 09:13.120 --> 09:19.120 fought with someone, even if it's a thief or someone who attacked you first, and you 09:19.120 --> 09:29.920 injured that person, it's really, he's very bad, he's up at that very bad state, you could get 09:29.920 --> 09:37.360 and travel with authorities because, well you knew karate, you know karate, a lot of 09:37.360 --> 09:46.960 person didn't, so that's disadvantage, you could get into travel, the first thing, the 09:47.280 --> 09:55.600 one of my, since I said, the best thing you can do is just, and also depending of the situation, 09:56.400 --> 10:02.240 the best thing you can do is just inevitably take that person, if that's a word, yeah like, 10:02.800 --> 10:11.520 let me, sorry, let me cherish, so I can confirm, and then yeah you, you just run, 10:15.280 --> 10:21.600 oh well there's a translation, I'm not sure if that's the correct word, 10:21.600 --> 10:26.560 whether it's like this qualified, or let me write some another thing, 10:26.560 --> 10:32.960 yeah like, no, that, that, that, that's the thing, that person, yeah, you disabled that person, 10:34.480 --> 10:41.680 you just punch him or you, you make him, sorry, there's an airport for that, 10:44.240 --> 10:50.720 you like, yeah, like you take out his, his, his air, and then you run, 10:51.600 --> 10:59.360 um, okay, so moving on on the topic, something interesting about what karate, 11:00.480 --> 11:09.520 is that it doesn't matter your age or your gender or anything, you can always practice karate 11:09.520 --> 11:18.080 at every moment in your life, many of the sensations in Japan, the various sensations 11:18.080 --> 11:27.200 upon their oral, because well karate is a way so you age practicing karate, and it doesn't 11:27.200 --> 11:36.480 matter people, I've seen or people that is very karate, when they were young or not so young, 11:36.480 --> 11:45.760 they were all, it doesn't matter because karate adapts or you adapt karate to train the training 11:46.560 --> 11:53.520 to yourself, and as you improve in karate, you also improve your physical condition, so that's 11:53.520 --> 11:58.960 something great about karate, and that's another bonus you improve in your physical health, 12:00.960 --> 12:10.800 okay, okay, so another thing about karate, well, yeah, karate has influence from China, 12:11.680 --> 12:21.120 karate developed, was developed in the UQ kingdom, it was a kingdom, in the UQ islands from 12:22.640 --> 12:36.160 1429 to 1879, it was, yeah, and it has been developed, the modern karate by Kishim from Akashim, 12:36.160 --> 12:48.160 and he introduced it to all of the world, well, let's talk about the main bases of karate, 12:48.160 --> 12:57.280 karate has three main bases, there are Kata, that I mentioned before, Kion, and Kamete, 12:57.360 --> 13:06.560 well, Kata, I already defined it, in karate, in Chutagani style, there are other styles, 13:06.560 --> 13:13.760 I'll let you talk about that, in Chutagani styles there are about 19 Kitas, if I'm not wrong, 13:15.280 --> 13:21.360 of those I only know around half or a little bit more, 13:22.240 --> 13:38.240 well, in Kata, yeah, as I mentioned earlier, it's like a symbolic fight, and it's also similar, 13:38.240 --> 13:43.520 Kikihonkihon is also a series of movements, movements, but they are all in straight line, 13:43.840 --> 13:52.400 and they are mainly used to practice your position, your form, your dashes dashes are the 13:52.400 --> 13:59.520 positions of your legs, so there are different positions, some examples are synchetsuachik, 13:59.520 --> 14:11.920 Kukutsuachik, Kivalashi, and Kionic is for improving those areas, those positions, techniques, 14:12.000 --> 14:20.320 and it is also used when you're being evaluated by your sensei to continue 14:21.680 --> 14:30.800 abancing through the belts, and last, or it is Kamete, Kamete is like it's combat, 14:30.800 --> 14:40.880 I know that I said before that karate is not about, it's not focused mainly on self defense, 14:41.120 --> 14:50.880 or like that combat part, but it is also important to be a skillful that even because it's 14:50.880 --> 14:58.800 not the main focus of karate, but it's as I said before, it's a bonus, so it is important, 14:58.800 --> 15:06.160 in Kamete, there are two categories, yeah, so when you're starting learning karate, 15:06.160 --> 15:17.040 you just practice basic committee, basic combat, and you don't have like a physical contact, 15:17.040 --> 15:26.960 but you don't, yeah, the best way of singing is with the difference with free combat, 15:26.960 --> 15:32.480 so you can free combat your name implies, you're free to move and you're free to attack as you 15:32.560 --> 15:40.240 go ahead and defend as you want, in basic combat you, there are predefined structures, 15:40.240 --> 15:51.200 and there that's the committee you learn when you're beginning, in competences, in 15:51.200 --> 16:00.640 even in the Olympic games in Japan, that's when karate was first introduced to the Olympics, 16:00.640 --> 16:10.080 into Olympic games, in Katekas or practitioners of karate, competed in the two categories of Katekas, 16:10.080 --> 16:17.040 committee, because well as I said before, Khehon is more used to have all like you, so yeah, 16:18.000 --> 16:30.480 those are the three bases of karate, before moving on, I want to say or mention the Dojo Kuhn, 16:30.480 --> 16:39.040 Dojo Kuhn is the set of rules for when you're training, Dojo as I said before is the 16:39.040 --> 16:47.680 place where you train, well I'll be training between Japanese and English, so the first, 16:47.680 --> 16:55.920 they are five rules, so the first one is he does Jinkan Kukansen in the Dojo Kuton, that translates or 16:55.920 --> 17:02.480 yeah, that translates to a strike for completion of character or seek perfection of character 17:03.200 --> 17:12.320 Hitatsu Makatonomi Shiyoma Murukoto, be faithful, protected way of truth, be punctual, 17:12.320 --> 17:17.440 that's something very important, Hitatsu, Dojo Kuhn of Sationo Jashino Kuton, 17:19.040 --> 17:24.480 that's like each person most, and they were fostering the spirit of airport, 17:24.480 --> 17:32.080 Hitatsu Rayon Shiro Kuton, respect others, and finally Hitatsu Kekinaju in Mashimura Kuton, 17:32.080 --> 17:39.120 which translates from, which translates to refrain from violent behavior. As you may have noticed, 17:39.120 --> 17:46.720 every, each of these rules starts with Hitatsu, Hitatsu work, that translates to first, 17:47.920 --> 17:54.320 that means that every rules are at the same level, all of them are important, 17:55.280 --> 18:05.440 okay, and well, the Dojo Kuhn reflects the values of karate, reflects the values of karate, 18:07.600 --> 18:14.160 what I, yeah, some of the things I mentioned before, refraining behavior, 18:14.800 --> 18:25.360 striving to be better, having discipline, um, well, um, yes, I wanted to talk about the hierarchy 18:25.360 --> 18:33.760 of the belt, so the first belt is white belt, all of these belts have all of these 18:33.760 --> 18:41.120 color of the belt's have, that colors have meaning, and it is not casualty that the first 18:41.200 --> 18:48.880 belt or the first obvious, these setting Japanese is white, it's like the beginning being clean, 18:50.000 --> 18:58.800 of everything, it's starting a new path, um, then every belt has its meaning, 18:59.680 --> 19:07.920 then we have yellow belt, then we have orange belt, blue belt, green belt, purple belt, 19:08.000 --> 19:16.960 then we have a brown belt and black belt, and those last ones are important, and when you get to 19:16.960 --> 19:24.000 the black belt, you were saying, you're the master, yeah, like, you can be, you're like the master, 19:24.000 --> 19:33.520 you can have some others, and the, and brown belt, it's, um, when you're in brown belt, you're 19:33.600 --> 19:43.120 us in bite, and that's like, preparation from being the master of others, um, so when you get to the point 19:43.120 --> 19:50.960 that point, you must give a good example, you should also have trained others, because you 19:50.960 --> 19:58.240 part of, uh, carry out these also helping others and teaching them, so, um, when you get to brown belt, 19:58.320 --> 20:06.960 you must, uh, prepare to teach others and help others, um, I do remember if I mentioned it before 20:06.960 --> 20:14.560 part, I am purple belt, and now I think that didn't, so yeah, purple belt, uh, what my belt 20:14.560 --> 20:25.120 or obvious, means, uh, or emphasizes in is, uh, common control in yourself, and that's also something, 20:26.080 --> 20:33.680 related to what I said for, um, karate's about search and peace, and having, uh, like, 20:33.680 --> 20:41.120 out of control, yeah, I think that's a word over yourself, out of control, yeah, um, well, 20:41.120 --> 20:50.080 other words, karate, karate does the uniform, you use when practicing, uh, well, something 20:50.160 --> 20:58.160 really important, uh, is that when you get to brown belt, there are three different 20:58.160 --> 21:07.120 brown belts, and they are all, uh, they use, you, you, differentiate them with a term, you 21:07.120 --> 21:16.000 called dash, it, then, sorry, so there is, first, then, third, then of brown belt, and in black 21:16.000 --> 21:24.800 belt, there are 10, 10, so well, it's a whole life, uh, I might say, Mason says, like, uh, 21:24.800 --> 21:32.080 third, or four, done, and it's a whole life, it's, um, pat, there are many things to learn, 21:32.080 --> 21:38.720 uh, something Mason says, yes, it's that, uh, black belt, he's just that beginning of the, 21:38.720 --> 21:44.800 it's kind of that beginning, um, so yeah, there is a lot of work to learn. I think 21:44.800 --> 21:54.160 only hopefully, or three, next year, to brown belt, and maybe, since now, four years, 21:54.160 --> 22:00.640 four years since now, I'll be black belt, yeah, so, oh my, I want to practice all my life, 22:00.640 --> 22:09.440 karate, um, well, something that I just remember is that karate, one of the episodes, 22:09.520 --> 22:16.640 of kishin funa koshizu, is that the beauty of karate, uh, comes from practicing it every 22:16.640 --> 22:23.840 moment of your life, uh, that's where the beauty of karate comes from, uh, well, let's look 22:23.840 --> 22:31.600 about styles, term, different styles, depending on the sensei, uh, the style that was developed 22:31.600 --> 22:38.400 by kishin funa koshizu, shatterkana style, it is called, as that, because, uh, shatter was the 22:38.400 --> 22:45.680 nickname of kishin funa koshizu, and kani is like a house, so, or do you, so people say, well, 22:45.680 --> 22:53.200 let's go to, to shatterkana, to the house of shatter, and there are other styles, I don't know 22:53.200 --> 23:02.560 their name, but there are, they differ mainly on the katas, perform, um, mainly on that, and maybe 23:02.640 --> 23:10.320 some of the techniques used for the katas, uh, another thing interesting about karate, 23:10.320 --> 23:20.400 is that there is Okinawa karate and Japanese karate, um, they differ mainly on the dashes, 23:20.400 --> 23:26.880 in the, if I'm not wrong, in Okinawa karate, the dashes are the positions of the legs, 23:26.960 --> 23:35.040 her, uh, little, or more little, uh, because they focus more, like, being, uh, that's called, sorry, 23:37.360 --> 23:43.040 yeah, like, uh, practically, I think that's the word, you know, like being practical, 23:43.040 --> 23:51.360 when performing the techniques, uh, something to, to, to, to mention, uh, yeah, to mention about karate, 23:52.240 --> 23:59.760 that, uh, karate also focuses on being, um, like the beauty of performing the techniques. 23:59.760 --> 24:06.960 So, there are many techniques or ways of moving, uh, your body that doesn't matter how you 24:06.960 --> 24:16.800 perform there, because, um, they're not part of, um, the attack or the defense itself, but, um, 24:17.760 --> 24:24.560 with Kalman, yeah, with, uh, having control over yourself, uh, from being, you know, 24:24.560 --> 24:30.960 you can't perform there, they mean a beautiful way, so that's also beautiful about a katas, 24:32.880 --> 24:38.720 and well, it's about, uh, someone's a katasin, you should have been a style, uh, there are, 24:39.440 --> 24:44.960 yeah, as I said before, 19 katas, different years, three of them you learn when you 24:45.040 --> 24:49.840 begin practicing karate, are they kakushuan, they kakunian, they kakushan then, 24:49.840 --> 24:57.040 they kakun means Martin's first cause, and he's also my sensei before, said, uh, the last cause, 24:58.240 --> 25:06.080 since he's from Japan, or world sensei's with the high that, with tender, uh, of black belt, 25:06.080 --> 25:12.800 a practice, they kakushuan, it's like your first one, last cause, then there are five hand, 25:12.800 --> 25:19.280 hand, hand, hand, hand, hand, hand, hand, and you may have noticed that at the end of the, 25:19.840 --> 25:25.360 names of the katas, there, there, there is the word, there are the words, a shosh, 25:25.360 --> 25:32.160 hand, hand, and well, those are how, that's how you count him, Japan, in Japanese, sorry, 25:33.360 --> 25:38.480 so the first number is each, then you have knee, knee, knee, ankle, 25:38.480 --> 25:47.760 local hishii has to cut you, um, so yeah, there's last hand, hand, hand, there are, 25:47.760 --> 25:55.040 first, five hand, hand, hand, hand, hand, hand, hand, hand means, uh, minding, peace, 25:56.640 --> 26:05.280 and hands were derived from, uh, katakul, kankudai, kankudai is, uh, look at the sky, it's like 26:06.000 --> 26:12.480 kini at this, yeah, look at the sky, that's how it translates, um, I think I'm not sure, 26:13.760 --> 26:21.440 but yeah, those are short words for the large, the large meaning, look at the sky or 26:21.440 --> 26:29.840 hand, just the word for a minding peace, but I think it derived from, from other names, but that's 26:29.920 --> 26:36.160 the simplified version of saying them, uh, okay, so kankudai, it's look at the sky, I need to 26:36.160 --> 26:44.080 call like that because of the first, last movement you perform, the first moment, I, uh, 26:44.080 --> 26:50.400 posting it in the show not some videos of kankudai, kankudai, kai, and the hayans, and they keep you, 26:50.400 --> 26:58.000 the kakus, so you can see, see them, and kankudai, you start with your hands, 26:58.080 --> 27:08.160 in hands down, and they're from a triangle, and then you slowly move your hands upwards, until 27:08.160 --> 27:18.000 you see the sky through the triangle, then you separate your hands, and then you continue, 27:18.000 --> 27:25.920 you later see some of the videos, and there's another katakul bazaedai, bazaedai is 27:26.000 --> 27:33.520 translates entering or penetrating the fortress, I just go like that because of that strong movement 27:33.520 --> 27:42.400 performer, they're beginning of the katakul, and, well, kankudai and bazaedai, they have like 27:42.400 --> 27:51.920 brothers, so there is kankusham bazaed show, they're like little brothers, I think, if I'm 27:51.920 --> 28:01.840 referring, you are in the black belt, I am in purple belt, and I learned kankudai in green belt, 28:01.840 --> 28:10.160 and hey, I'm going, I am now learning bazaedai, take a shot, and something before moving on with that 28:10.160 --> 28:23.200 take a shot, I said that kankudai, you arrive five hands, that what the reason for that is that 28:23.200 --> 28:33.200 kankudai is really, it's difficult, there are kankudai consists of 65 techniques, 65 movements, 28:33.200 --> 28:43.600 and if you don't control your breath and your energy, you'll end up without air and performing back, 28:43.600 --> 28:54.320 back, back, wrong, so it is difficult, and it was separated into five hands, I don't remember who, 28:54.320 --> 29:03.920 what's in say, separated them, post-led in the show notes, he's separated into those five hands, 29:03.920 --> 29:11.280 so people could learn him, they could learn them first, then they can't good eye, okay, so 29:11.280 --> 29:14.880 take a shot, there's take a shot, take a shot, take a shot, take a shot, take a shot, take a shot, take a shot, 29:14.960 --> 29:27.120 take a shot, take your shot, take a shot, take your shot, take a shot, take a shot, a shot, take a shot, 29:27.120 --> 29:38.400 take a shot, take a shot, take a shot, make a shot, take a shot, take a shot, and take a shot, 29:38.960 --> 29:44.320 and we're going to see what's happening with the video. 29:49.440 --> 29:56.000 There are other ones who are in the tutorial, but there are two brothers, 29:56.000 --> 30:06.480 I think I will learn it in Black Belt. 30:08.480 --> 30:15.520 Well, something that Gishim Funakush recommended for instance is to learn a cut-out per year. 30:15.520 --> 30:23.760 So you will learn it, perfection it, yeah, you will perfectionate it for a year. 30:23.840 --> 30:32.240 That's a lot of time I learned Kankudayan and he and Gauran only in a year. 30:33.840 --> 30:42.560 But yeah, I have a lot of things to improve in those cut-outs. 30:42.560 --> 30:47.680 In fact, in all of the cut-outs, you can always improve a lot of things. 30:47.680 --> 30:58.320 Well, what is important to perform a cut-out? Good way is a combination of factors. 30:58.320 --> 31:07.920 So when you are performing your cut-out, first you should always have a good breathing. 31:08.800 --> 31:15.440 You should go away, sir. Let me translate the word. Sorry. 31:17.440 --> 31:26.000 Yeah, like press your belly, you really burn, yeah, but in a way that you can still breathe. 31:26.880 --> 31:33.600 That is because you should, and that's not only in Kankudayan, also in Kankudai because if you 31:33.600 --> 31:38.560 receive a punch in your shoot-up part, there are three parts. 31:40.400 --> 31:49.600 Jalan, which is your head, shoot-up, which is your wrist, yeah, and again, which is your 31:50.240 --> 32:00.160 like your lower part, your belly bottom. You should always when practicing a press your belly bottom. 32:00.160 --> 32:07.440 So, if you receive a punch, it won't take you out of your breath. Also, it is important to 32:07.440 --> 32:17.440 practice moving your hips. When you attack with a punch at Suki, that's how it is called Suki. 32:17.440 --> 32:24.400 That's the basic face, that basic punch you can. Or the basic cut-out you can do. 32:25.280 --> 32:33.200 You should not only use the force of your arm, but also the force of your hips that 32:33.200 --> 32:39.840 like the energy comes from your center. You can try it, for example, 32:40.800 --> 32:52.000 your leaving your arms, your arms relaxed, your relaxed way. Moving your your hips, 32:52.000 --> 32:58.480 view your right way. You will see, I end with a strong way, 32:58.480 --> 33:09.440 a strong way. You will see how you can move your relaxed arms up to your head. 33:09.520 --> 33:17.680 So, you can see that the force that you can use with your hips, that's something 33:17.680 --> 33:24.640 very important in karate. Not only when attacking, but also when performing defense techniques. 33:25.360 --> 33:34.880 When you're attacking, you should put your hips looking to your third north or well, so 33:35.600 --> 33:44.720 yeah, north. But when you're defending, you are put it to the west or to the east, and that 33:44.720 --> 33:52.640 helps first because of the movement, the mechanic of the movement. Not also because if someone 33:53.680 --> 33:59.200 attacks you or with that, for example, with the Oceriet and I don't know the word. 33:59.760 --> 34:14.000 With Leck Cake, yeah, when you move your hip store, east or west, sorry, 34:15.520 --> 34:25.920 you have like protection, safe area, the guards you from Leck Cake, so any other cake, 34:26.880 --> 34:34.400 something another thinking for turning karate, or in, and also yeah, cationing committee, 34:35.280 --> 34:46.960 because well, the archetypes like assimilated combat, is the, are the, the, is the ability you must 34:46.960 --> 34:53.760 have with your legs. So, especially for example, in Cancadae, there are a lot of movements 34:53.760 --> 35:03.280 you even have to jump, so you have to have a good stability. Yeah, that's another thing, 35:03.280 --> 35:10.080 bring important. Something, well, now let's talk about things important in committee. 35:10.640 --> 35:20.320 In committee, it is really important to, to, um, shout, yeah, to shout. So, when you perform, 35:21.120 --> 35:31.680 when you, in, even in, in a basic committee or in pre, committee, combat, in free, combat, 35:31.680 --> 35:39.120 or in basic combat, you have to shout, um, you, there are different types of ways of shouting. 35:39.680 --> 35:46.960 Yeah, shouting is, sorry. Yeah, shouting, um, you say something like, 35:47.840 --> 35:53.760 you shout that word. I don't, I think that word has a meaning, but that point is, like, 35:53.760 --> 35:58.960 like, when you shout, you have, you concentrate all the different strength, and it is important 35:58.960 --> 36:07.520 in committee, something you see if you don't shout, the judges can notify your, you're at point. 36:08.720 --> 36:15.520 Another thinking for that, he's the, being quick, like, like a cat, for example. 36:16.480 --> 36:26.640 There's an analogy that might say, taught me, uh, if, um, if a rock falls, uh, to, to towards you, yeah, 36:28.080 --> 36:37.440 normal people would move their, um, arms to the head, trying to protect it, but, well, the rock 36:37.440 --> 36:45.680 will steal, um, break it, or yeah, keep them, and even kill them. Um, you would think that, 36:45.680 --> 36:52.000 maybe a particular would use a technique, like, uh, I have, okay, a letter, let you see, 36:52.000 --> 36:57.520 with an image, what, I have case, you decide events, uh, you would think that a 36:57.520 --> 37:03.760 particular would use, like, kind of defense with the arm to protect it from the rock, but, 37:04.400 --> 37:13.200 anyway, you will break your arm and die. So the best thing you can do is to, and the most, uh, 37:13.200 --> 37:19.840 intelligent thing that you can do is just move to one side, that's, uh, easiest thing to do. 37:20.800 --> 37:27.840 Um, people don't tend, I'm even critical, I don't tend to think on their legs, because, well, 37:27.840 --> 37:37.920 we, we have, like, um, the arms more close to that head to that, brain, our brains, that, 37:37.920 --> 37:45.120 done, our legs, sorry. So you don't think a lot about using your legs or moving with your legs, 37:45.120 --> 37:51.440 and that's something you should do in committee, you should first think in the legs, 37:52.400 --> 38:01.360 in, uh, moving, uh, towards the opponent or, or backwards, um, and something, uh, 38:01.360 --> 38:07.280 very interesting, there's a movie, sorry, oh, I don't, I just, I'm just checking the name. 38:07.840 --> 38:17.520 Yeah, there's a movie with Tom Cruise called the last samurai, uh, it is from 2000, yeah 2003. 38:18.480 --> 38:27.760 Um, yeah, there's a great scene. I'll try to find it in YouTube and post that in the show notes, 38:27.760 --> 38:36.800 so you can see it. There's as anything when Tom Cruise, uh, he's, uh, practicing with a wooden, wooden sword, 38:37.360 --> 38:46.480 and he's like losing the combat, losing the simulation. So there's a samurai that says, 38:47.040 --> 38:56.080 says to him that he's, uh, having a lot of mind, uh, mind, uh, opponents, mind, short, 38:56.080 --> 39:03.680 mind, opponent, no mind, uh, samurai said. Um, so that's something important in committee, 39:03.680 --> 39:12.080 you don't, there's, you, you enter like in a state where you, you don't think, yeah, something like that. 39:12.160 --> 39:18.800 You're emptying, and it's like, uh, through instinct that you defame and you attack, 39:19.840 --> 39:25.520 you don't think, you'll be opponent, you don't think, on your feasts, you don't think, on people, watching, 39:25.520 --> 39:34.320 you, nothing, that it's, it's an interesting, it's paint of, of mind, uh, it's like relaxing, 39:35.280 --> 39:41.040 uh, uh, a combat, it's like, uh, a dance, you must be relaxed. There are some times where, 39:42.640 --> 39:51.680 you have to, uh, uh, uh, of searching, uh, precept from kissing for Nakoshi, the mentions, that, 39:52.240 --> 40:01.360 something, something similar to what I am saying. Um, yeah, so you, there are moments where you are, 40:01.360 --> 40:10.160 like, a dance, some moments where you are relaxed, um, I'm searching it, sorry. 40:12.720 --> 40:20.240 Yeah, it says something like, um, the main point of committee is, uh, 40:20.800 --> 40:30.720 interchange, like, uh, balancing between, um, relax, positions relaxed, uh, yeah, we like 40:30.720 --> 40:37.360 moments, uh, moments where you have to put all your resources, all your energy, that's something 40:37.360 --> 40:45.440 very important. Well, uh, I, I, I, I say of these things about committee, but I have never, uh, 40:45.520 --> 40:52.080 being, well, uh, free committee in a free combat. These moments will be my first, uh, 40:53.040 --> 41:00.880 competition with, uh, free combat, and I've been practicing, but, well, it's very different from 41:00.880 --> 41:10.080 when you practice from when you, uh, uh, yeah, compete with a, uh, a person with, uh, 41:10.160 --> 41:18.320 and now, where you can, uh, or where you can attack him and he may attack you and even, um, 41:18.320 --> 41:27.840 injury hit you. So, yeah, uh, I think I hope I am prepared. And yeah, I think it's more of relaxing 41:27.840 --> 41:36.800 yourself. I think everyone has feared by it, but if you demonstrate it, you lose. Um, yeah, I hope 41:36.800 --> 41:47.360 I'll perform well. Um, what else can I say? Uh, something interesting that you can, um, 41:47.360 --> 41:54.160 learn to differentiate some, uh, defense techniques and some attack techniques is that, uh, 41:54.160 --> 42:02.400 defense techniques tend to, uh, end with, uh, okay, war. So, there is, I, okay, that I mentioned it before. 42:02.480 --> 42:10.320 So, to, okay, we should get you to, okay, um, uh, defense techniques tend to end with, uh, 42:10.320 --> 42:17.520 pushy board. So, there's MP, you should that, uh, kick with, uh, be the elbow, 42:17.520 --> 42:27.760 MP means elbow, uh, there's also, uh, that it's suki, which is like, um, like, uh, kick, we, uh, 42:28.720 --> 42:38.480 yeah, like, you were that's a hammer. Yeah, um, that's a way you know, how can you differentiate 42:38.480 --> 42:47.600 techniques? Um, well, um, yeah, that's the main things I wanted to say about karate. 42:47.600 --> 42:52.880 There's another, um, phrase from kishin from the kashi that says, from of the universe, 42:52.880 --> 43:00.080 emptiness and emptiness is from itself. It is something that you must seek, seek when practicing 43:00.080 --> 43:09.040 karate like being empty. Think, uh, when you're doing things in an in general, you overthink 43:09.040 --> 43:16.640 a lot, you think a lot, and you, it is better when you don't think, then you just do the things. 43:17.360 --> 43:25.520 My sensei had a seminary last year, uh, in which he practiced with, uh, Japanese sensei, 43:26.240 --> 43:35.520 and that practice, uh, he was performing, he was, uh, performing a lot of katas, and he ended, 43:35.520 --> 43:45.280 and he started over, and many times, and your mind, as, uh, you, he was thinking, uh, he was very tired, 43:45.600 --> 43:51.120 but everything is in the mind, pain is in the mind, so, you have the ability to continue. 43:51.120 --> 43:58.720 There's also something that, um, reflects, that it is reflected from, from the deliocune, 43:58.720 --> 44:07.120 fostering the spirit of effort, so, even if you're tired, uh, focusing, um, and they're 44:07.280 --> 44:17.600 never in fostering. Yeah, um, well, um, um, um, yeah, those are the main things I wanted to talk 44:17.600 --> 44:26.720 about karate, um, I want to encourage you to, to enter this, and to start walking through this path, 44:26.720 --> 44:33.120 this beautiful way, it doesn't matter, you rage, you can always start practicing karate, just 44:33.200 --> 44:45.360 takes discipline, and effort, but you later begin to laugh karate, um, well, uh, to end this episode, 44:46.400 --> 44:56.640 I want to thank, uh, Klattu for, for, um, DX, so, uh, for the episode about, um, how to make friends, 44:56.720 --> 45:04.320 I use the, um, trick, or the, yeah, the trick, or the type of complimenting, yeah, even a compliment, 45:05.200 --> 45:14.240 last week I went out with the girl and I gave her a compliment, uh, on his, um, on his quotes, 45:14.240 --> 45:21.760 and yeah, that was a good tip to, to break the ice, um, also to keep, uh, it gave another 45:21.760 --> 45:30.560 topic to talk about, so it was, uh, cool, so thank you Klattu for that, um, yeah, well, I hope, um, 45:30.560 --> 45:36.800 you have enjoyed this episode, uh, I'll be recording some other episodes, so I'm so, um, 45:36.800 --> 45:42.880 my thought beats some comparison, stop beats, or if you want to hear more about karate, just 45:42.880 --> 45:47.120 let me know in the comments, um, well, thank you very much. 45:47.120 --> 45:54.720 You have been listening to Hecker Public Radio at Hecker Public Radio.org. 45:54.720 --> 45:58.880 Today's show was contributed by a HBO artist like yourself, 45:58.880 --> 46:01.680 if you ever thought of recording podcast, 46:01.680 --> 46:06.320 and click on our contributors to find out how easy it means. 46:06.320 --> 46:11.760 Hosting for HBO has been kindly provided by an onsthost.com, 46:11.840 --> 46:14.960 the internet archive and our synced.net. 46:14.960 --> 46:19.920 On this otherwise stages, today's show is released on our creative comments, 46:19.920 --> 46:27.200 attribution for point-o international license.
